Horrifying Scenario

3/5

From a GM perspective, I love the scenario, though it desperately needs a sanity mechanic. There is really no reason why the final encounter should ever go in favor of the PCs unless you want it to. The amount of fodder in the last chamber is enough to make 7 PCs run in fear.

If I were to play it, I probably would be able to finish it: There is little in the way of clues given regarding the sort of encounters and the final encounter is specifically written to completely remove fallen PCs, not to mention constantly recharge.

There is a lot to like from a GM perspective, but unless you are willing to greatly help the PCs, the there is little reason to play it.

Fun Alternate Class

5/5

I love this take on classic mythology. It is a bit restrictive in the code of conduct, but a group/GM that gets in on the character stories will enjoy this class.

Overall thoughts:

This book covers a *lot* of ground. All core and base classes through the "Ultimate" books are present along with another 11 from various third party publishers

Hyperlinked. I've not needed to use them, but anything that immediately brings up its reference is a good thing. As I recall, these link to the d20pfsrd pages.

Some typos. There are no horrendous issues on this front, but there were a few that stood out to me (p. 77, Mythic Scribe Scroll asks me to reference page XX, references to DR x/epic [which may be a mistake on my part]).

Mythic Misc. Chapter. This itself may be the selling point of the books, offering substantive re-workings of some perceived problems with the Mythic tool set along with a Mythic Skill system.

Mythic Versions of Class Abilities. This is another excellent innovation to the Mythic concept: Why not have a character of myth be amazing at a signature ability, such as the Rage of Achilles?

Expanded Mythic Paths. I'm partial to the Psionic Path (The Overmind, and the Carrie-like abilities) there seems to be nothing lacking or ridiculously off in any of the included new paths.

Feats. No, I'm talking something more FEATS. It seems like every feat in the PF hardbound line is in this book.

Finally, something I wouldn't hold against any publisher: no love for Words of Power.

Closing words: Awesome book. I would need to play the paths and abilities/feats some to get a better feel of the overall balance, but I am immensely happy with this text. I imagine any perceived issues are balanced by the other two books in this "series," and look forward sitting down with them eventually.

Enjoyable Romp

4/5

Full Disclosure: I received this product for free in a lottery/raffle of sorts from the publisher.

This product contains a front cover, page for company/contributors, and one for the licensing. Excluding those, we are left with 8 pages of information. The Hellenic gods are interpreted, a few articles of arms and armor are mentioned (as well as a statement about the armor of the era), and finally races and archetype offerings. I'll mention the races (Amazon, Centaur, Minotaur and Satyr) and the archetype (Amazon Warrior) for purposes of completeness.

There are several typos, and I noticed the somewhat archaic Level Adjustment (LA), but all told the information is very interesting and piques the Classics major in me. Perhaps the only genuine issue I have with the product is a the weapons table: it doesn't include a cleaner breakdown of the proficiency of weapons (Exotic, Martial and Simple). This isn't a huge issue, but I would rather all the information be either in a table or in a paragraph.

All told, I like the material, I like the implementation, and would love to see a bit more for this line. Pairing this up with SKR's New Argonauts and you have yourself a wholly worthwhile campaign.
